They can say that, but why would anyone have to listen? On what authority do they purport to restrict what you do with the photos once you take them? If the objects you photograph are not themselves copyright, then the copyright on the photos belongs to you.
Well, there is the issue of property and contract law, and whether you're violating the "contract" that you got the admission and ticket under.
